I would pull them and replace back to stock, but thats me.
Sounds like you have a adjustable shock for drags maybe.

The 50/50 are not the Drag shocks, as the Drag shocks have 90/10 valving on the fronts. Are you having problems with them? If so try different settings to get them dialed in to where you like them. I had them on my '96, on the street I ran a 4Front/3Rear. Autocross I mostly used a 6Front/5Rear. I found that anything over a 8 or 9 was just too stiff.
On the Drag Strip you will want to start low, usually a 1-2 Front setting.
Don't get frustrated, give the shocks some time before changing to another setting. I found them to be very versatile!
